people who walk like a duck with their feet pointed like \ and / annoy me too

I get on well with all my co-workers. Only problem for me is that there are two females that can't stand one another and are always complaining to me about each other over the pettiest shit. I like them both but having to work with them bitching about each other all the time pisses me off.

Bunch of whiny banora's up in this bitch. Grow the fuck up.

I'd have to say that, for the most part, it's the same for me. Although, we're a small company and have gone through several people that didn't "fit" to get to where we are now.

I am the annoying co-worker.

I regularly make personal calls that last for 5+ minutes. I spend all day surfing forums and then get into angry rages close to deadlines, despite weeks of procrastination beforehand. I pull all the annoying pranks.

Originally posted by Domesticated What are some good ones you've pulled? A guy in our office was on a health kick for a while, and kept bringing in boiled eggs which he'd crack on the desk and then eat. One day I slipped out and bought a fresh egg and switched them when he was in the toilet. He got yolk all over his keyboard. There was a big scandal here in Australia a while ago because a famous footballer named "Wayne Carey" was caught touching a chick's boob. We have a guy in our office with the same name, so we got three people to call him up and abuse him all day. When he asked where they got his number, we got them to say "it was written on the toilet wall at Flinders St. Station". Our mail gets opened by a secretary and then circulated around the office by hand. I got a speeding fine (company car, all infringments come to the office) in the post one day, so I scanned it, changed all the details to that of a co-worker, and then for three successive days I slipped "speeding fines" into the mail addressed to him with bullshit details of when they happened. The prank ended after he sent a letter to the civic compliance department abusing them. With the same guy, I also put a trojan on his computer giving me remote control and spent a whole day trying not to laugh when he complained to everyone that he had a virus and that his CD drive kept opening randomly. He's known to be really shit with computers so no-one believed him. Once or twice an hour I'd make a message pop up saying "Unhandled error number 532av6" or something like that, and made sure that it couldn't be closed or minimised, then as soon as he went to get help, I'd get rid of it. Fun day. Another one that happens pretty frequently is people sending emails from other people's computers, such as "my wife just filed for divorce and I'm back on the market. Not sure if you've noticed me, I'm the tall guy with glasses who sits beside the window. We should go out for a coffee" etc. Far and away my favourite is logging onto an sexual dysfunction website based here which is very well known, signing people up (incl. phone number and full name), and then listening in when someone calls up and says "Hi, I'm such and such from AMI, I'm just calling about your erection problem, can I book you in for an appointment?" Post your good pranks. I'm out of ideas and need some new ones.

im doing that right now...
like omg..

the current company I work in is pretty nice. A fresh new environment with a whole bunch of nice people, especially a good number of South Africans (one of our major offices is in South Africa). However, I do have some pet peeves ......

* A program manager who has "0" customer service skills when she talks with our clients. She talks lazily to them, such as shortening words, no proper linguistic, and doesn't close her phone conversations in a proper manner. She says goodbye in a very lazy way.

* I usually like a tranquil type of environment when I am working, because it helps me concentrate. I don't mind the occasional sound here and there. But please. When you have 3+ people around you who have their freakin Blackberry alerts go off loud like crazy, then that's a different story. Please. Can you set the phone to silent or vibrate?

* Some co-workers come next to me when I'm heating my lunch, and ask "whatcha eating?" and "smells good.". I'm not really much of a small conversation type of person. Sorry.

coworkers who have masters degrees in computer science (and therefore are probably making more money than I am) asking me questions about simple memory allocation (and why their code keeps segfaulting because they are trying to access memory without allocating it).

That, and when you're answering their question, they try to finish your sentence and get it wrong (of course). It's like the interrupting cow knock knock joke, except it quacks instead.

work annoys me far more than the people.

i love cows at work

meat187 you are a scientist no?

Originally posted by l�cid the guy who sits next to me is one of those perpetual whiner/complainer types. he's a nice enough guy, and every time i need his help he's very friendly. i just can't stand listening to his conversations with other people because 99% of the shit that comes out of his mouth is just pointless bitching. he also drags his feet when he walks.

Sounds like me, especially the feet dragging part.

No wonder I was asked to leave!

I liked most of my co-workers. We had issues about work things, but for the most part most of just did our own things and that was that.

Management sucked as co-workers. One of the partners would walk up and down the office complaining and fighting with our biggest client. The only reason he got away with this is because his dad ran the client company. The other one smelled funny...

the girls who answer our phones. 'screening' is apparently a completely foreign concept to them. I hate taking calls that anyone with internet access could have answered, but decided to just park & bitch about no one answering.

that & my supervisor wears super-short ties. pisses me off.

too much to list. out soon enough, though.

Originally posted by jennypie He got all aggressive and smothering one night when he was drunk and got a really tight grip on my arm and wouldn't let go, so I fucking bit him, lol. This was like 2 weeks ago and it's still there. His sister noticed it at the dinner table and was like "Is that a bite mark on your wrist? " *awwwwkward*

Can you blame the poor slub? I live a thousand miles away and I feel like choking the shit out of you, I can only imagine what it must be like to live with you.

You lazy bastard!

while scott is going through his co-worker drama i as well am dealing with the dumbest woman ever that has been hired at work. now my job isn't that hard and the register is fairly simple for trained monkeys to even work, but this woman has to be in her 50's and is soooooooooooooooooooooo dumb when it comes to the computer. she first didn't get the screens were touch screen and that's it's OKAY to touch them. secondly she can't ring up the free tickets into the system which again trained monkeys could take a paper ticket and press the simple button, but no not her. their are some things to my job that take some steps but very small steps. she is just getting sooo confused about it all and i honestly don't have the time right now to be training her and doing the extra work that has been given to me. she made me so mad the other day when she was leaving and my manager had came by before i could have cooled down and i let him know how i feel about the woman. i am not the only one that feels she is a dead weight and not a good fit. i was told yesterday to try and play nice and see if she catches on. so meanwhile i am left trying to be nice a woman that i feel is so annoying.


scott just pull him aside today and just have a man to man talk with him. tell him the big man is watching and don't like what he is seeing. plus just try to listen to him today and see what he talks about. i know your mandarin isn't that great but you can understand it well enough <3
